4, cooking time control: when cooking braised prawns, you need to pay attention to the mastery of cooking time, do not overcook or undercook the prawns. Under normal circumstances, prawns can be fried until they become discolored, so as to avoid the shrimp meat from aging into paste due to long-term cooking.
